The central objective was to analyze the social situation of the Portuguese Ciganos/Roma through the delimitation of a set of dimensions and indicators that allowed mapping of the profiles and their distribution in the national territory, taking into account their socio-demographic characteristics, patterns of territorial insertion, (interviews, documentary analysis, the Delphi method). In addition, it has been used as a tool to improve the quality of life of the Roma community.

The aim of this project is to estimate the direct economic value of the Portuguese language (now and in the future) in the context of globalization. Economic and entrepreneurial activities involving the use of the Portuguese in the fields of teaching, culture and media will be taken into consideration for empirical research.
